I've always thought this quartet was one of the greatest between Beethoven and Bartok/Shostakovich. It's sad that hardly anyone ever performs it here in the USA.

Wonderful quartet! Have never had an opportunity to hear it in concert. And a great ensemble. One of the best I've ever heard. Bravo.

wow!

Great performance! Such a beautiful work... love when Nielsen quotes Tchaikovsky's 2nd string quartet in the Finale (25.01)

Also, amazing performance!

Beautiful ! Thanks

I really hear the danish soul in Nielsen's music.

1. Allegro con brio 2. Andante sostenuto ............ 9:20 3. Allegretto pastorale - Presto - Allegretto pastorale ...... 18:25 4. Finale : Allegro coraggioso .............. 23:45

For me, the Quartet grew in strength and cohesiveness as it progressed from movement to movement ending with a kind of "bulkier" Haydn lightness in the finale. Great listening to such dedicated performers!

;) danke!!

Perfect !! XOxoxoxoo

This is Gorgeous Stuff To Listen To in more ways than one. For someone such as myself, who was taught the violin -- This is Musical Comfort Food For Me. Unfortunately I live in Mumbai, India and seem to be alone in appreciating the String Quartets Of Carl Nielsen. I pray that the Day comes when someone or the other On You Tube Uploads the Complete String Quartets of Carl Nielsen. That will be a keep sake. Carl Nielsen was gifted to compose really gorgeous string music but is unfortunately not appreciated as let's say Beethoven's String Music is. Many Thanks For This. I have added this to my list of Liked Videos and Subscribed to this You Tube Channel on this my first visit.

It would fill my soul to hear this quartet in person (Chicago, please?).

fremragende gengivelse. Hvis pizzicato under første sats virkede højt, tror jeg, at mikrofonerne var bedre, end spilleren troede. en meget fin gruppe dog og selvfølgelig en fantastisk komponist

Painfully powerful, mordant, sometimes discordant work; lyrically at times even ecstatically played...
